COMBINED P'UNCHING AND SEE AEING IVIACHIN'E.

Application filed June 12,

To all 107mm may concovt:

Be it known that l, NR1 N. KLUTING, a citizen of the United States, residing at lahnyra, i the county of lilacoupin and State of lllinois, have invented certain new and useful .ln 1 'ovements in Combined l unching and i iachines, of which the followii a specification.

i his invention re ites to the class of cuttins and punching; machines, and more pari'inching' and "ins metal, and for an o.

' e of this character including a r! iratii cutting; tool adapted for o ation for .inovcnnent of one member of the A further object of th invcntioi is to provide a ni;..chine of the above dost d chartransactc-r wiiic i inav be vcnientiv .i.\:.i iuilllCtl 11031 illOlOi IQLL .LXlZtGlEilli-l cu it s s "A\ 1 x inanuall ()ucluucd machine.

1, Fig. 6 is a top plan view, Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 6 showin a slightly modified form of my invention, Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 7 showing a further modified form of my invention.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, there is shown a combined punching and shearing machine comprising a base member 5 which is provided. at its front end with vertically disposed spaced flanged. portions 6 and 7 respectively which thus form a longitudinally disposed groove 8 for the reception of a die 9 which is held in place preferably by means of transversely disposed bolts 10 engaged in passages formed in the flanged. portions 7 and 6, and in passages formed in the die.

Rcarwardly of the flanged portions 6 and 7, the base member is provided with vertically disposed standards 11 and 12 each Specification o1 Letters'latent. Patented June 15, 19097.

being provided at its upper end with a forwardly projecting enlargement 13. The standards 11 and 12 receive a guide member 14 disposed with a portion above the groove 8, and this guide member is provided with a vertically disposed passage 15 for the reception of a reciprocating rod 16. The rod 16, at its lower end and beneath the guide member 14 is provided with a chuck 17 which carries a suitable cuttingtool 19. The guide member 14 is provided with a depending shaped member 20 having its horizontally disposed portion 21 located above the die 9, and this horizontally disposed portion is provided with a 22 alinine; with the passage 15 and arranged to receive the cutting; tool 19 as will be rear understood.

The member 5 is provided with a cu tting blade 24 which is disposed in a vertical plane, and which is provided with a beveled upper cutting edge 25. ltearwardly of the standards 11 and 12 respectively the base member is provided with similar standards 26 and 27, and pivotally mounted between these standards upon a transverse pin shown. at 28 there, is provided cutting knife 29 having a beveled lower cutting edge 30 for cooperation with the cutting edge of the net described knife. shown, the pin 28 passes through adepending rearward portion 29 of the knife 29, and through an upwardly 631116111 lingrearwardportion24 fthe blade24. Adjacent to the outer end, the knife is provided. with an enlarged head 31. which is forked as shown at 32, the legs of the forked portion being ei'igaged in horizontally disposed grooves 33 formed. in the chuck 17 at opposite sides thereof. A brace member 34 is carried by the base member 5 and is secured by means of bolts 35 between the standards 11 and 12 and 26 and 27.

The enlargements 13 formed upon the standards 11 and 12 at their upper ends re ceive a horizontal driven shaft 86 which carries an eccentric 87 which is disposed between the enlarged portions 13, and this eccentric is connected by means of a strap 38 to a link 39 pivotally connected as shown at 40 to the rod 16. The driven shaft is provided with a gear wheel 41 in mesh with a pinion 42 carried by a drive shaft 43 which is also mounted for rotation in the standards 11 and 12 adj acent to their upper ends. The drive shaft is provided with a belt wheel 44 which may receive power from a suitable motor.

The drive shaft is provided with a collar 45 arranged to receive the forked portion 46 of a pivotally mounted lever 47 carried by the standard 11. It will thus be seen that the drive shaft may be moved in a horizontal plane to engage or disengage the pinion 42 from the gear wheel 41. It will thus be seen that as power is applied to the drive shaft just described power will be transmitted to the driven shaft, and by means of the eccentric carried thereby a reciprocating motion will be imparted to the link 39 for operating the cutting tool 19. During the operation of the cutting tool 19 it is obvious that by means of the connections between the knife 29 and the chuck of the cutting tool a rocking motion will be imparted to said knife.

In the modified form of my invention shown in Fig. 7, the drive shaft is provided with a squared portion 50 which receives an operating lever 51 whereby the machine may be manually operated by rocking the lever as is obvious.

In the modified form of my invention shown in Fig. 8 the drive shaft is provided with a ratchet wheel 52 for engagement with a dog 53 carried by a lever 54 which is loosely mounted upon the drive shaft. It will thus be seen that upon rocking the lever 54 the gear 41 will be operated through the medium of the pinion 42 )reviously described. It will be apparent that the last two forms of my invention are especially adapted for use in light work.

hat is claimed is:

1. A machine of the class described comprising upright standards, a horizontal shaft mounted at the upper end of the standards, a guide mounted between the standards below the shaft, a rod slid ably engaged in the standards for vertical movement, eccentric connections between the rod and the shaft for vertical movement of the rod when the shaft is revolved, means for revolving the shaft, a

clutch carried by the rod below the guide, said clutch having diametrically opposite grooves therein, a fixed blade, and a knife ivoted for movement to cooperate with the red blade, said knife having arms at one end engaged in the grooves of the chuck.

2. A machine of the class described comprising a reciprocating rod including a tool iolding chuck carried thereby, a stationary member having arms, and a rocking member engaged with the chuck said rocking member arranged for operation for movement toward and away from the stationary member.

3. In a combined punching and shearing machine, the combination with a vertically movable member, of a chuck carried by the member, said chuck having diametrically opposite grooves therein, a fixed blade, a knife dis osed for cooperation with the blade, said kni 'e extending radially from the chuck and being pivotally mounted at its end a distance from the chuck and arms carried by the knife at its end adjacent to the chuck, said arms being engaged in the grooves of the chuck.

4. In a structure of the class described, the combination with a base member of upwardly extending forward and rearward pairs of standards connected with the base member, a blade located between the lower portion of the standards, a knife pivoted between the rearward standard for movement to cooperate with the blade, a guide secured between the forward standards, a rod movable vertically through the guide, means for attaching a cutting tool to the lower portion of the rod, connections between the attaching means and the knife for vertical movement of the knife upon its pivots when the rod is moved, and means connected with the upper ends of the forward standard. for vertical movement of the rod.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
